The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour
Congress in Osun State, Mr. Jacob Adekomi, said on Tuesday that Governor Rauf
Aregbesola had approved the payment of December 2014 salary for workers in the
state.
Adekomi, who said this at a press conference he
addressed after a meeting with the government delegation, led by the Chief of
Staff, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola, added that the governor also approved the payment
of the 30 per cent balance of November salaries of some workers, who were yet
to be paid in full.
The NLC boss, however, said that workers would not
suspend their strike action despite the payment of their one month salary out
of seven months.
The Head of Service, Mr. Sunday Owoeye, also confirmed
that workers had started receiving bank alerts for the balance of November and
December 2014 salaries.
But Adekomi explained that most workers
would not get anything from the one month salary paid, because their banks
would use the too little money for loan repayment and interest.
According to Adekomi, most workers will not have
anything left to feed themselves, let alone transport themselves to their
places of work. Because of this, he said the strike would continue.
